The Louisiana Constitution—One Change at a Time

Did you know that Louisiana’s constitution has strict rules for amendments? They’re designed to protect voters from confusing, bundled changes—so why is Amendment 2 different?

Attorney William Most explains how the Louisiana Constitution requires that amendments be presented one change at a time, giving voters the power to approve or reject specific proposals rather than being forced to accept multiple, unrelated changes in one vote.

But Amendment 2 doesn’t follow this rule. Instead, it combines numerous changes, potentially leaving voters to approve parts they dislike just to support aspects they agree with. Is that fair?

Before you cast your vote, take a moment to consider: should constitutional changes be clear and separate, or is bundling multiple changes into one amendment justified? Let’s talk in the comments!
